Happy Birthday America & Grace

1. Happy Birthday Grace! My firecracker, red/white/blue, flag-a-flying girl. You are ten. I love you with all of my heart & I thank my lucky stars for the gift of you in my life. xo

2. A few quotes {of course} from the author of The Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson.

"In matters of style, swim with the current;
In matters of principle, stand like a rock."

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."

"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work,
the more I have of it."

3. Today is the Cranford Firecracker Four Miler. It is a festive run - lots of red, white & blue attire. People line the course with cups of water, squirts of water from their garden hoses, and sprinklers. My friend & I are running it for our second year..her husband and my Grace are joining us. Wish us luck!

{apologies for no Photo Friday or any photo -- the computer seems to have a cold or something like that. Hope to fix it soon.)
